Andy Fellows, Detective Chief Inspector for Lancashire Police delivers statements from Preston Davey's biological mother Sarah Davey and foster carer Sandra Cooper after the sentencing of Jamie Varley for his abuse and murder.
Varley has been sentenced to a whole-life order for the abuse and murder of adopted 13-month-old boy Preston Davey.
Mr Fellows read the statement of the baby's biological mother Sarah Davey, which said: "Preston Paul Arlo Davey was perfect from the moment he was born. The second he was placed in my arms, I fell completely in love with him.
"He was my baby, my son. And from that day on, I never wanted to let him go. For the first seven months of his life, I was lucky enough to spend precious time with him. He had the most beautiful smile, one that could light up any room. And the bond we shared was something everybody could see.
"Those memories should have brought me comfort, but instead they are now mixed with pain because I know what they put him through in his final moments. He was defenseless. He relied entirely on them. The adults responsible for him to love him, care for him and keep him safe.
"Instead, they caused him suffering. They took away his chance to grow up, to go to school, to make friends, to live a full life. They took everything from him."
